  1. Damn, it’s always been here and i didn’t see it? Gotta stop listening to that damn iPod all de time.

    Seriously JR, let’s (as in you) dump all the cool Formula One stuff and other such items (NASCAR?) over here. The boys need a safe haven in these trying times.
    We need to get those alpha male waves goin’ in sync.

    I guess the girls can post here too. Gotta be sports related, though.

  2. “Especially the Czech Republic.” Oooh, totally agree. They have the prettiest ones, by far.

  3. That last comment really got hung up in the DIA computer system. It’s an American scanning program and probably running on a Cray, so it probably took awhile to figure whether the Czech Republic was indeed a real foreign country, and where it was located on a map.

  4. Geez, we need to get sports stuff posted over here on the ZK Sports Stuff Tab.

    Maybe that’s why only so many comments. Only so many? Is that like Quite a Few? English sucks.

    ABOUT HERE.

  6. Here we go Steelers, here we go!
    Let’s see:
    JR- Pats
    MOU- Titans
    Bif- Bucs or JAX
    Remus Dolphins
    Holmes/Bunn bunn Chargers
    Doom- who the helll knows- Chargers?
    Nudge- she’d probably rather be dead than at a football game
    dave- Giants
    NP- Bears
    EE ‘Skins
    roach- Broncos
    yarra- this is AMERICAN football! but hey, how ’bout them Raiders?
    thal, if he’s still alive Bengals

    Those are my best guesses, how’d I do?

  7. Slight correction, tipping darling. Paradoxically, I’m proximate to the epicentre of Raider Nation (L.A. Chapter). You show up with a lightening bolt decal on your ride and you’re looking for trouble in these parts.

  9. I’m betwixt the Chiefs and Cowboys, geographically speaking, and fittingly in southern plains Indian country.

  11. I’m gonna kiss the first ZK editor that actually posts some sports stuff in Sports.

    OK, what if I email the scanned SL swimsuit calendar as a series of JPEGs?

  12. “what if I email the scanned SL swimsuit calendar as a series of JPEGs?”

    That would make you a ZK editor. I don’t think there would be a debate or even a vote. I think we would just send you money.

  13. You know, chasing skirts around office desks is a form of sports for men. See any Marx Brothers film. Helps to have a small bulb-activated horn.

  15. I got a new reality sport to propose. Lynching. ESPN. Might do it sort of like that movie Running Man, where you let the pols loose and give them a chance to run. Then celebrity hunters could chase them through the ruins of Washington DC while it was being filmed. America, or the 8 territories she breaks up into, could place bets on who will get who and how. Endless hours of fun. When it is over, everyone yells “Lynched!” high fives, and then goes back to work until the next show.

  16. I like this idea. You write the novella, I’ll work it into a screenplay. I’m always partial to movies, but if it is money that we’re interested with in this case, I say “reality TV” here we come.

  17. The Patriots?

    They’re 7 and 5. Tom Brady is a big pussy who says his knee hurts.

    No, I’m all Giants this year. It’s hard to not like a team that is 11-1 and whose smartest player shot himself in the leg at a night-club.

    I’m sure there is some other explanation. Alcohol and Firearms probably had nothing to do with it.

  18. roach- Broncos

    Saddly I am from Santa Barbara and my more informative sports days of the 70s and 80s was filled with the wonderfull days of the Raiders!

    I say saddly because my team sucks balls.

  19. Raiders-Chargers tonight- not at all exciting. You and Holmes can get together and commiserate over some carrots or fragrant herb or something…. Steelers/Cowboys on sunday should be fun (as long as the Steelers win that is!)

  21. Slow news day? You’re not a sports fan. K-Rod is going to the Mets and how ’bout them Steelers?

    Well, ok, there probably are some more important things happening but these days sports is just about the only thing to make me smile (good thing I’m not a Raiders fan, huh?).

  24. ok, good thing I didn’t kill you Bif cause I need to pick your brain a little more.

    We went to two bike stores today and have narrowed down the road bikes to a Tek 1.2 or GT (R? Series 3, I guess?) both approx $750. The GT has shimano components and the Tek has bontrager (sp?) components. Bother have carbon fork, integrated shifter and double wall tires. We actually looked at Raleigh and Specialized, they’re all very similiar in this price category. So now, waht do you think of GT? The only reason we are leaning towards that one is because that store is much closer and offers lifetime tuneups, while the other store is 40 min away and only gives a one year tune up. Hope you don’t mind all these amateur questions. Thanks hon!

  26. GT historically has made good bikes. One of my road bikes has a GT aluminum frame. They got bought out a few years ago however and I don’t know what they are about lately. But I consider all the bikes you mentioned to be generally equivalent IMO. Bontrager is OK. I would stick with Shimano components though, but thats just my personal preference.

    Having a relationship with a bike shop close to home is a good thing (if its a good bike shop/good people of course).

    Just a pet peave of mine is new bikes come with chains that are coated in sticky grease. Grease is not a lubricant, it just keeps the chain from rusting after it is manufactured. Have the shop remove the chain and clean it good with a solvent, then apply a nice chain lubricant. Big difference. Nice and clean and smooth action.

    Also, the brake cables and shifter cables stretch after a new bike is used several times. It will begin to shift poorly and get noisy. This is normal. You will need to snug them up or return to the bike shop and they will do it for you for free. Usually after this initial adjustment they won’t stretch much anymore and the bike will be fine.

  27. Bif- Thanks! That’s the sort of advice I was looking for. The salesman that showed us the Trek mentioned that GT had been bought by another company a few years ago and their store didn’t carry them; he alluded to the fact that there have been complaints about their quality since the buy out. But I think the relationship with your local bike store and free tune ups for life outweighs the relatively insignificant differences in bike quality and components. And too, even the components seem to be a matter of personal preference.

    I really have to thank you again for your help last week. I hope you didn’t take seriously my threat to kill you Bif : ) I’m glad it was you! And again, I appreciate your help with the bike questions.

  28. Here we go Steelers, here we go! I love everything about football season- the weather, back to school, baseball playoffs, etc.

    Thanks Nudge and Bif for your well wishes re my biking mishap. I’m totally fine, just embarassed. Next time I get a black eye, which is hopefully never, I’ll be sure to tell people something more interesting- maybe I’ll tell them I’m trying to bring back G.L.O.W. hahaha

  30. Well it turns out my husband doesn’t know what I’m referring to when I say GLOW, and, I’m guessing you guys don’t either; Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling- so now you know…

  32. Tipping, thought you were joking, but no ..
    http://www.gorgeousladiesofwrestling.com/

    Omfg, I suck at that stuff. Last month, at a party, some gal 20 years younger than me wanted to arm-wrestle .. she’s skinny and maybe 30# lighter and damn near pulled my arm off. Was sore for a whole week after :(

    Livin’ and learnin’ ..

  35. Sports?

    I’ve been watching a classic Russian film from 1966 about 1400 and I have a page on my blog called sports?

    What the Fuck is wrong with me?

    That was a mistake. I meant to either call it Porn or War….hmmm

    I think you got your chocolate in my peanut butter.

  36. Are you gonna take me to the aquarium like you promised?

    Fuck. You still wanna do this. This may be the last time.

    No. No. NO. Nudge. Here’s the deal. I got like maybe 48 hours. I’ll do all the driving. You pay for everything. I’ll do the work. I sudennly got had (whoa. hey that’s nutting).

    I won’t drink. I never do when I’m driving. I’m 40yrs old. My idols are F1 drivers not Johnny Holmes

  40. Yarra, they coat entire cars with that stuff from Japan, to protect them during ocean transport—-

  41. I won, but barely. In retrospect, though, since my arm & shoulder hurt for a whole week after, I should have just let her win since she was really hepped up on this arm-wrestling thing, What it cost to win wasn’t worth the outcome.

    Her BF seemed to like seeing us get all strained & sweaty, lol.

    JR, sorry, I’m only just now starting to get over this flu-like thing that’s had be down all week. Call me in a few weeks or I’ll call you? At least wait til I get my voice back please .. I’m not much fun when unable to speak. No, wait, my boss actually loves that .. he says it’s just what he wanted, a secretary who can’t talk back. LOL, I get very fresh with him a lot of the time, but he seems to like it.

  42. “Sure that grey grease isn’t a lanoline based lubricant?”

    For a minute there I didn’t know what the hell this was about. GLOW? But I see you are addressing my above comment from last April.

    Don’t know what it is exactly. I assumed its a machine grease of some kind.

    It could take many months from when the chain is manufactured until it is sold and it has to remain shiny as new. That’s the only reason its there, not as a lube. If used “as is” the stuff is really sticky and nasty and attracts dirt. All that grit just gets into the chain action and wears on it. What a horrible thought, and it gives me the willies just thinking about it. Happiness is the smooth “whirrrr” of clean and properly lubed drive train.

  43. Bif, why not go belt drive, get a motor and use that fossil fuel energy directly to get around, instead of indirectly through the food chain? I guess it would then be a motor-cycle, huh?

  44. Fuck. I really need to pay more attention.

    GLOW? Bif? I have no idea. ask Yarra.

    You People.

    Jesus are you kidding me?

    You make me want to cry.

    This can’t be right.

    I can’t be actually enjoying life.

    Only pink floyd can do that to me. Not Moldovans.

    This has to be Yarra. Yarra is playing me.

  45. Oh to live in the South!

    As we approach the national championship… I thought I would say hello, merry, merry and Happy, Happy, Happy.

    I will stay consistent in 2009 and bet that they (Bama) will fail but I have been wrong all year (no tears).

    Rode with a good rider and author today… Warren. He is in the points in the Winter league … you can ride in Alabama year round. He came back to the south like the Robins doo… from the apple.

    “Yellow Hammers” Good natured term for Alabama troops.

    Warren St. John, a diehard fan of the Alabama Crimson Tide and the author of ” Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer: A Journey Into the Heart of Fan Mania” (Crown Publishers, 288 pages)

    Will the championship end like Little Round Top and the fate of the 15th Alabama Infantry and thus the south…

    Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, fought the most famous engagement there, culminating in a dramatic downhill bayonet charge that is one of the most well-known actions at Gettysburg and in the American Civil War.

  46. Hey Johnny Too Bad (reb or Rico) let us ride soon! The McClellan saddle was a long-lasting success and continued in use, in various forms, from the period of its adoption until the U.S. Army’s last horse cavalry and horse artillery was dismounted in World War II.

  50. Hoooly Fuck!

    I wrote that in September. I had only known her for like two weeks. Things actually changed after that in a bizarre weird twist. As so often happens with these Moldovans.

    Thank for bringing me back 4 months, Jim E. I owe you one… or a few. Seriously. I would never have seen that without your fucked up Souhtern obsession with stupid shit like sports.

    Kidding. No, serious.

    It;s Okay though. i can’t figure out if I like Brady or Manning and if Tiger woods should be allowed to possess balls or not. Personally I think sports are not relevant to our existence. But obviously they are, So I’m wrong. I’m just trying to find where I’m wrong.

    The Russians don’t really give a fuck about most sports. I’ve been spending a lot of time with Russians. Lately.

    They don’t seem to fuck more than Americans. They probably read less. So what are they doing?

    The men drink harder. But they seem to work harder, too.

    The women are all hot as fuck and dress like … there is no word for it. Boots. Skirts, Bras, Panties… like Victoria models… all tight.. wrapped up to the nines. Heels. 4-6 inches minimum. Dancing in them. Smoking Dope. Dancing all night.

    I could tell you stories. I came out of … nevermind… I’ll tell that one later. My jaw actually dropped. It was four in the morning. But I would have never expected to see this

  53. we are improving.

    I’m on the brink of suicide and you give me a series?

    Fine.

    Jim, Let me give you a race before I off myself.

  57. I just cant survive in this world without a strong woman.

    Without a mother or without a Katya present, you can forget about ‘ME’

    I’m checking out.

    See you in some other world. Don’t be late

  58. The mother of my son… the greatest gift I have ever received… tried to squish me “like a bug”.
    Many trails there are in life… and if they do not kill you, you will come be stronger!
    With out the storms, the trees are all FUCKED!

  60. What de fuck happened to sports? We could put that golden golf guy, what’s his name, Woods, Woodie Woods? Kitty Woods? No, no, you moron,………. Tiger, Tiger Woods.

    Tiger hits a mean wood, at least that’s what his wife told me last night.

  62. Spain-Portugal

    230 pm Eastern

    This gonna be better than Belladonna versus Katsumi

  63. It was a nasty/epic day at The Tour for all except… the Quick Step. Sylvain looks ready for a cobbled stage.

    Who likes Uruguay tomorrow?

  64. “Riders of the pro peloton who I have admired greatly over the past 20+ years, in no particular order…” — Bif

    Such a monumental distillation of fandom is rarely presented in a public forum. Extra points for the nonchalant delivery vehicle.

    “Who likes Uruguay tomorrow?” — jime

    They’ll probably beat Spain for 3rd.

    It’s a bitch being right all of the time (except, alas, for when money is on the line [which suggests to me that I should either never gamble, or commence to insisting that I'm wronger and more illiterate with the passing of every day!], but you all heard me ages ago when I predicted Germany to win it all), so why belabor the point?

    And the ongoing putative national suicide in Brazil continues…

    Was that Nudge I saw? Still railing against the big corporations. Good to know you haven’t lost your edge, baby. As for me, I officially don’t give a fuck!$!

    @JR: Homey says to send him an e-mail.

    Over and out.
    ~BB

  66. i’m her boyfriend and i’ll come out and kick your fucking ass.

    I just got my claws trimmed the other day. That’s probably a lucky break for you. Do you want me to pick you up at the airport? Do you like Mexican food? I do get a last meal, right?

    Of course Nudge is correct. By way of example, it’s all BP’s (and Bush’s) fault! The rest of us are innocent.

    From our good buddy Neil King, Jr. …

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704699604575342843359124882.html?mod=WSJ_hps_MIDDLETopStories

  67. You really want Mexican food as your last meal? With all those choices in metro LA , I’d suggest you put some serious thought into the variety of restaurant cuisine before offering it to that east coast ass kicker.

  68. Of course Nudge is correct. By way of example, it’s all BP’s (and Bush’s) fault! The rest of us are innocent.

    yes, finger pointing is an art form in itself. being a traditionalist, i always blame the wetbacks, the niggers and the jews. if i was more progressive i’d blame suv drivers, republicans and methodists. a little more conservative and i’d be blaming the environmentalists, the democrats and episcapalians. i’m always so glad that i have it figured out just right.

  69. Bif, shades of OEO offering the address book for those against AGW over on CFN. I actually scanned the list to see if there was someone I knew.

  71. Jeesh. I’m here to tell you in the northeast today it is anthropogenically hotter than hades.

    Speaking of hot, how about this Russian spy Anna Chapman? Hubba hubba. Hey maybe JR got swept up in the dragnet. The teevee does say some of the Russian spies were apprehended in Boston.

    “admired greatly” was perhaps not the best choice of words.

    How about those Dutch futbollers?

    Germany? Spain?

  73. The spies were targeting the moves of policy makers? Policy makers? WTF. Our media doesn’t even do that. Ruskie bastards.

    This heat wave. Its so hot. I dream of air conditioning. I’d take a comfy AC jail cell and three square meals, this week anyway. If they’d let me watch the TDF in high def. I swear to God.

  75. Bif, do what the lower classes do, go “shopping” at the maul. Hang out in AC splendor while not purchasing anything. Maybe buy some hot dogs and cold beer.

  76. Yeah. Or maybe drive around all night in my car. With hot dogs and beer.

    Any minute now Jim_e is gonna come busting in here ranting about todays Tour stage through the Ardennes in Belgium and the grueling test of the pavé. And he will be right. Those cobblestone farm-to-market roads were laid down by the Romans back when they ruled these heathen lands of “Gaul”. The roads have lasted more than 1500 years. As Jim_e knows, a hundred miles in the saddle on those wretched cobbles will destroy most men, and exact a heavy toll on even the victor too, what’s left of him. Unlike the Champs d’Elise, the pavé will probably last another 1500 years, however for the moment its nowhere near as much fun. Et tu Jim_e?

  77. It just wasn’t a good idea to send the race through the Ardennes today, what with the crashes and injuries and loss of some Tour hopefuls so early in the event. At times the wreckage of bodies and equipment looked like a scene out of Saving Private Ryan. Some were hauled away on stretchers and the rest got back on their bikes and rode as hard as they could to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut. Recovering from todays cuts and bruises will make the next two and a half weeks all the more difficult.

  78. Good saint, who will wear the dark uniforms? That is who I am for tomorrow. As for the days thoughts on Le Tour, the Pave will last long after the gulf turns into a wasteland. Two velos are the best, one fat and one thin! I like liqui and our buddy, Basso, is my fave… Astana is growing two heads?
    Bun, You are right on! “They’ll probably beat Spain for 3rd” (referring to Uruguay).
    Has JR been caught up in the spy ring?
    Alemania should do but Española is the ones I want to wear the dark suits.

  80. So Spain is the dark horse. Would never have expected Germany to get skunked.

    What. The. Hell. Bunn?

    Fuck all that darkhorse shit. Its going to be the Dutch. I can feel it.

    Meanwhile. Alessandro Petacchi wins a Tour stage in the sprints. I love when old guys win.

  81. Jim_e? Who will wear the dark uniforms? Shit I don’t know. Ask me again in the Pyrénées you bastard. This one is going to get dirty. Mark my words.

  84. Hmmm… the crystal ball needs back to the shop for recalibration it would seem. Jesus, the Spanish played nearly perfect defense, the Germans never were even in it really. In hindsight (yeah sure, Bunn, go ahead and articulate that which is now ridiculously manifest), their skill level is obviously higher than the young Krauts and that Baby Huey goal keeper. The Dutch will have to flop like they’ve never flopped before to beat España if the latter can put together another game like this last one. Hell, I retire from attempting further World Cup prognostication; it could go either way. (Fuck it. Neutrality is not an option. Go España!)

  85. Uruguay was able to score 2 goals against the Dutch. I knew they would put up a fight. If Spain can possess the ball and relentlessly attack like they did against the Germans…I like Spain’s chances.

  86. BTW, does anyone know what happened to our hero, JR? Is he just on vakay or do they have him in jail with his Russian spy girlfriend? Will they be traded like so many baseball players for some equally culpable/capable American spies? If so, is this the end of the ZK blog as we knew it?

  89. I’m in jail. My girlfriend is not a spy, she’s just a whore. I never take vacation.

    I’m like the Beastie Boys … except, like, ummm, opposite

    Don’t worry about me. I’m cool. If I’m here or not ain’t gonna stop the oil spill.

    You just keep writing and always pray for Ferrari

  90. Glad to see you are alive and they have internet access in jail.

    Just got back in town from the hell hole (N.O. – hot!!),… and I do take vacations, and not too soon. Montreal. I’m going to pray in the cathedral every morning I swear to god and then hit the bars in the afternoon. Amen. I’m off! Go Dutch!

    (BTW, am two chapters into Hitch-22, more to come, I promise)

  91. Bif

    Jim_e? Who will wear the dark uniforms? Shit I don’t know. Ask me again in the Pyrénées you bastard. This one is going to get dirty. Mark my words.

    and today it did

  95. Jim_e, count me among those who would have preferred to see Contador hold up and wait for Schleck to resolve his mechanical, and then race him head to head so as to prove who’s the better man. Call me a traditionalist.

    Attacking your opponent in such a disadvantaged condition is poor form, but its legal, so it stands, and so be it. But I hope Schleck has an opportunity to come back and kicks his ass.

    I have never liked Lance Armstrong, but (remembering a few years back) I do respect that Lance held up and waited for his rival Jan Ullrich to remount and rejoin the race after a crash, and then once this was resolved, showed he could beat him head-to-head and without having to rely on a fluke event or some gift.

  96. Is Lance known as one-ball, two balls, or no balls?

    I respect him as a cyclist. Why did he drop Cheryl Crow, or was it the other way round?

    I like Cheryl.

  97. I wish I knew for I like her too.
    As for Tourmalet tomorrow, there is ground for horror.

  102. What?

    There are no sports in July, you assholes. (Baseball is not a sport)

    Only Formula 1. Hockenheim practice today (Friday) 8AM Eastern on Speedchannel. The race is sunday, probably delayed telecast at noon on Fox.

    Pray for Ferrari.

    I’m not on vacation. Aside from work my priorities are getting in Katya’s panties and writing the definitive article on electric cars for the New Yorker or the Atlantic Monthly. This is harder than I thought it was gonna be. (Katya’s panties). I’ve done it before. She makes it harder every time. It’s not fair. Men don’t do this to women. It’s not like, hey! dinner was great last night, I loved the meat and potatoes. Now make it better tonight or I’ll throw your ass on the street. WTF? … the sad thing is I’m gonna step it up. This girl is gonna kill me. Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!

    The good news for you is that if I get rejected, you guys will be the first to see the poor quality (of the article). Hey! that rhymes.

  103. I may or may not have said something yesterday. But it was really a great day when Ferrari went 2-3. Massa was on fire for all the sessions. Alonso was only 2 one-thousandths off pole.

    Ferrari is back. Back in Red.

    All we needed was Massa in the first 5.

    And the start shows what I have always said about Massa. Is that he is the greatest starter ever.

    Ferrari goes 1-2 at the start. Nothing else matters. These guys (I have faith) will act as the team they are. Alonso will hold Vettel. There is no way he will let him through. Vettel will wish for anything but Webber as a team-mate. Hamilton and Button can suck it.

    Oh, if only life was like this all the time. Thank You.

  104. Lap 13 Massa is locking. Lap 14 Vettel comes in and switches to the hard compound. Ferrari brings in Alonso in reaction. Massa stays out.

  105. Massa comes in on 15 for the hards. I don’t like this circuit but this is gonna be a race.

    On 16 Massa continues to lock. He needs to let Alonso through. Alonso’s is the quicker car. I really pray that these guys do this well.

  106. Lap 44. Massa holds Alonso. Vettel breaks into the 17s. It took 44 lof 67 to move from 18s to 17s. Qualifying was in the high 13s on no fuel. 18s on 300 pounds. We will probably see 16s. It is the tires now. Alonso came in first so Massa is gonna to have the better tires (theoretically).

    I second guessed my boy and I apologize. I really, really don’t wanna see a Senna Proust thing here. I trust these guys. They are the ultimate professionals and in the field, they are the best two sportsman. Don’t let me down.

  107. Somewhere between lap 44 and lap 48 there is a radio broadcast from Smedley to Massa saying “Alonso is faster than you. Can you confirm that message.” No response.

    I think Massa is gonna go for it.

  108. On 48 Massa concedes and does it well. Ferrari 1-2. Alonso was faster but Massa was the better driver. He was three and he went to one on the start and held for 48 laps. You da man.

  110. I am going to Masters Nationals, 50-54, road race, 8/4/10. My buddy got second last year. I want to be there when he wins.
